Perl IO::Socket::INET Remote Denial of Service
This Perl script demonstrates a remote denial of service vulnerability in the IO::Socket::INET module. It sends a crafted SIP message to a specified destination IP address, port, and username, causing the target system to crash or become unresponsive. The vulnerability allows an attacker to disrupt the availability of the target system.
Mitigation:
Update the IO::Socket::INET module to a version that is not vulnerable. Alternatively, implement firewall rules to restrict access to the affected port or service.
